Susan is a 28-year-old single mother, whose husband left her when her son, Thomas, was 2 years old. Thomas is now 12 and has been getting in trouble at home and school. Thomas is getting sent to the principal’s office repeatedly, and when home, refuses to complete his homework. Sometimes Thomas refuses to attend school altogether. Susan is overwhelmed and unsure what to do. Thomas blames her for “scaring” his father away, and Susan often finds herself crying and depressed. She has tried disciplining Thomas, but nothing seems to work. She does not know who, or where, to turn for help.
